Since Johnson was released form the Texans this postseason, the Ravens can't play Johnson during these playoffs. Johnson won't officially be on the Ravens roster until after the Super Bowl and will qualify as an unrestricted free agent this offseason.

In a surprising twist, the Baltimore Ravens have claimed former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Diontae Johnson off waivers. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the move ensures the Ravens’ long-term strategy as they look ahead to the offseason.

Diontae Johnson is back with the Ravens. Sort of. The Ravens claimed Johnson today after he was placed on waivers by the Texans yesterday. But under NFL rules, Johnson is ineligible to play for the rest of the postseason and doesn't officially go on the Ravens' roster until after the Super Bowl.
